- May 17, 2015, 21:38:54 PMThis has been going really slow- it's killing me.... I had an eye injury of unknown origin a couple of weeks ago, ended up with a corneal ulcer, which believe me is small but hurts like hot coals in your eye... Besides everything ELSE that has to break, need fixed, trees to cut down, grass to mow, and everything ELSE.... very little time to get on it.
But with a little here, a little there.... there is at least a little progress....

- May 17, 2015, 21:37:15 PMWell, I decided on just a plain-jane single black stripe. PC, I wanted to take your advice, but my pinstriper is near 70 years old (he doesn't look it), and said he didn't really trust his eyes and steadiness of his hand to do double stripes any more. SO, we ended up with a single black stripe, and I'm happy with it. We'll see how it looks when it goes back together....

Or.....Black and Gold to seperate the colors and then some tasteful Black and Gold hot rod style pinstripes to tie it all together. Stuff like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=pinstriping&newwindow=1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=saxHVbbYHoSZsAX9xIC4Bg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1280&bih=675
Or you could go with a more modern twist and go with a lime green pinstripe.

- May 03, 2015, 23:35:51 PMSO I have a little progress to report. Parts are coming in, and I'm getting some stuff put on.
Got my wheels powder coated black, with an ivory stripe. Michelin commanders.
Some stock black parts from a 2000 for the fork covers.... and some more yet to go on.
One of Ted's Drifter shifter's ready to bolt on.
Oh, and the tins are done at the painter.... Waiting for some pin striping.
And, no, that isn't my Grand National.....Posted by greenbarn
- April 02, 2015, 21:33:04 PMYea, decided on a re-do. Keeps me busy in my spare time....
So if you get real bored, needing something to do, and decide you want to work on a '66 Ford truck project..... I can't seem to get time for mine 
Maybe once this 800 is done, and a few more things on the 1500...

- April 02, 2015, 06:33:26 AMNo problem. That looks like quite the project you've got going on there!
Yep, I'm going to list it again. I took a couple more rides & the magic appears to be gone, for now at least. I still think I going to mess with an old VW beetle next.

- March 31, 2015, 19:08:28 PMQuoteNow you are starting to sound like PC and hold me responsible for things I never did nor was aware of.........I thought you were going to say you had "helped him out" by adding to his parts pile every day until the project was done, then he had this big pile of parts.... Sounds like something you would pull, Ratman
But that is a good idea..........

Simplifying things a little.When you run out of parts to put back, then you are done...that's how I figure it out, anyway.....If I have anything extra, I will hunt down where it goes until I find it a home...

Sounds like something you would pull, Ratman...Well FYI, many years ago, you would have been in short pants back then a friend of mine did some major mods to his bike, and he swapped out some parts for after market. Well he was ready to ride and he thought the bike was back together correctly. But much to his chagrin on his bench was a pile of parts, he was completely confused as to how he could have so many parts left over, in a panic he called myself and another buddy to come and help him. Ok so the deal was a lot of the after market and custom parts came with their own nuts and bolts, screws.....and he never took the old ones and put them with the correct part......so perhaps, Troll will have to go through what you have on the bench, and if Troll is to busy then ask DC to come with his tribe of wives and they can all help you.......
